IMPROVEMENT IN DEVICES FOR WELDING CHAIN-LINKS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 163,949, dated June 1,1875; application filed September 26, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, P. H. STANDISH, of J efferson City, in the State ofMissouri, have invented an Improvement in Dies for Welding Chain-Links,of which the following is a specification:

The invention will first be described in connection with the drawing,and then pointed out in the claim.

. Figure 1 is a side elevation; Fig. 2, a plan view, and Fig. 3 a detailView of the hammerhead.

A B represent an anvil, on which is placed a circularly-adjustableplate, D, having a series of dies, E, of a varying size, to receivechain-links of larger or smaller size. G is a hammer-head, with helve H,pivoted on an arm, J, secured centrally to the die-plate by a bolt, F,and with wings L L, one on each side of the flat welding-face. Theseserve to give a light blow, which brings together the ends of link thatare to be welded before it enters the die E, where said ends are unitedby the welding action of main die G.

What I claim as new is- The combination, substantially as described, ofrotary plate D, having open dies E near its edge, and hammer, havingmain die G and wing-dies L L, all arranged substantially as and for thepurpose specified.
